WHAT WE DO
We Provide Eye Evaluations and Vision-Restoring Surgeries.
The debilitating vision loss due to cataracts is easily cured by a 30-minute surgery, highlighting the critical need to expand the eye care sector in impoverished regions of the world.
Our volunteer ophthalmologists are trained in specialized surgical techniques specifically developed to remove advanced cataracts prevalent in developing countries and volunteer nurses and nursing students are trained in assisting ophthalmologists and optometrists.
Our goal is to empower local eye care providers to establish self-supporting eye clinics to offer permanent care to impoverished persons. Self-supporting eye clinics are being established with local physicians dedicated to serving the poor in Mexico, the Caribbean and South Pacific.
iSight Missions builds sustainable capacity, not dependency!
iSight Missions in partnership with the Hawaiian Eye Foundation/Project Vision is a resource for many Christians to support the battle against blindness.
